You do know that having short tags enabled will result in a parse
error in the following situation, right?:
Yes, I do know. In fact, I mentioned this knowledge in virtually every email on the subject. Your point being?
idea ever - but I still think it'll just create more wtf then
necessary.
I will repeat it as many times as necessary:
1. This situation can happen only if you have written very buggy template code - there exists no such code right now and one has to be rather sloppy to create such code. Use quality libraries :) At least as template engine.
2. This situation is very rare use case for PHP anyway, since most templates in PHP aren't XML.
3. This situation is very easy to prevent and very easy to recognize if not prevented.
